Do you have a line like GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 in /etc/sysconfig/network?
That should provide your default route.  There may also have been a line
like GATEWAYDEV=eth0 (or similar) line in the same file for YDL 2.3.  It
is not present in YDL 3.0.

My netstat -rn output is as follows (MSS, Windows and irtt columns
omitted):

[root@bender network-scripts]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   Iface
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U       eth1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U       eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U       lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG      eth0
